About the role
As a Strategic Product Manager at Forus, you will take on some of the company’s most important and ambiguous product problems before they have established teams, roadmaps, or obvious solutions. Your work may include building internal AI and automation products, creating new operational capabilities, developing the first version of a product for a new customer category, or incubating an entirely new business line.
What they're looking for
- Experience working in a product management, software engineering, or forward deployed role on a team that required outcome ownership (e.g., fast-growing startup, a 0 -> 1 business line at a high-performing organization)
- Track record of taking ambiguous, cross-functional problems and independently driving them through to measurable outcomes
- Technical judgment and the ability to reason about software, data, AI systems, and operational processes
- Hands-on experience using AI and technical tools to prototype, analyze, automate, or build rather than relying exclusively on specifications and engineering resources
- Strong written and verbal communication that allows you to be an effective participant in both internal debates and external relationships
- Track record of moving quickly, finding shortcuts, and going to unreasonable lengths to deliver on goals
More about this role
Forus is building an AI-powered network that connects doctors, pharmacies, payers, and biopharma to accelerate new science to patients.
Our platform automates the complexity between a doctor prescribing a medicine and a patient starting treatment, including insurance coverage, financial assistance, and supply chain navigation. We provide this support free to doctors and patients, helping them get life-changing medicine faster, cheaper, and easier. The resulting network enables biopharma companies to design better research, launch new drugs more effectively, and invest in harder-to-treat conditions.
Forus has exceptional product-market fit and is growing rapidly through organic adoption:
Accelerating scale: We already support patients across more than 85% of ZIP codes and partner with 9 of top 15 largest biopharma companies in the world.
AI-native, durable model: Our business becomes stronger as AI improves, as every new doctor, patient, and partner makes the network more valuable.
Backing to build for the long term: We raised $300M+ from leading investors to build an exceptional team and unlock the full scale of the opportunity.
Our number one priority is scaling to market demand....
